For weeks now four vans bearing photographs of a Sydney businessman emblazoned with false accusations that he is a "corporate thief" and a "fraudster" have been turning up outside an office block in Bligh Street.

Over the years I have covered more corruption inquiries than I care to remember – ranging from a prostitute, Tiffanie, complaining that former MP Ian Macdonald was a "wough kisser" and made her feel like "womiting" to the sex-for-favours scandal involving Wollongong council.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of serial fraudster Stephen Larkin after he failed to turn up to court to be sentenced over 62 charges of falsely nominating a man suffering dementia as the driver of the car when a string of traffic offences were committed.
